We became a key solution provider for many Turkish Garment manufacturer. Our aim is to co-operate with them in a very strategical way to improve production technics to reduce the consumption of water, chemicals and energy.

ENRIQUE SILLA | CEO

Could you tell us about your relations with the Turkish Denim sector? Would you describeTurkish denim from your point of view?

Today we are continuing to operate from our Izmir factory, having over 20 people in our team only in Turkey.

We became a key solution provider for many Turkish Garment manufac- turer. Our aim is to co-operate with them in a very strategical way to im- prove production technics to reduce the consumption of water, chemicals and energy.

Thanks to the investments of the Turkish Denim manufacturer into technologies we believe that Turkey will stay very competitive in terms of speed to market, quality and price.

With our laundry 5.Zero (laser, G2, eFlow, H2 Zero and Contact box) launched we offer now a full laundry solution, from dry processing by laser technology, washing machines pro- duced by Jeanologia Italy, up to the H2Zero waste water system based on our own ozone generators produced in Izmir. Now it is time to analyse and to improve the processes in the den- im fabric production too.

Turkey is a key market and strategic place or us, our plan is to increase our investment there in order to give the best in service to our clients. Currently in Izmir we have our own Ozone production center and a demo center, with more than 20 creative and talented people with one common passion: INNOVATION.

Turkey is the leader in fashion and quality denim fabrics so it’s obvious that a lot of things are happening here. We as Jeano- logia will contribute in this field too.

We have introduced or G2 DYNAMIC system to the mar- ket having now more than 30 systems running worldwide. We are already working with 4 mills together here in Turkey and we are sure we will expand soon.

As Turkey has a key role in garment manufacturing, for sure they will achieve the same in the denim fabric and we as Jeanolo- gia hope to be part of this.

Can you reveal some information regarding Jeanologia’s Izmir plant located in Turkey? Are you planning to increase such investments in the future?

Turkey is a key market and stra- tegic place or us, our plan is to increase our investment there in order to give the best in service to our clients. Currently in Izmir we have our own Ozone produc- tion center and a demo center, with more than 20 creative and talented people with one com- mon passion: INNOVATION.

Would you like to briefly mention about the latest technology in the Denim sector you have brought up?

G2 Dynamic is the first machine to integrate ozone technology to the continu- ous fabric finishing process. It stems from the knowl- edge acquired by Jeanolo- gia in over 15 years of R&D in ozone textile applications field and is set to redefine fabric finishing providing an eco-efficient alternative for several of the most water intensive and pollutant pro- cesses of fabric finishing.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF G2 DYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY

G2 Dynamic takes air from the atmosphere to pro- duce ozone, a molecule that reacts when coming in contact with fabric. Oxygen is released back into the at- mosphere once the process is done, closing the loop with zero discharge.

This is why G2 Dynamic uses less water, less en- ergy and no chemicals to achieve results comparable to those obtained in some of the most common pro- cesses: desizing, elimination of backstaining, caustifi- cation and greige fabric bleaching. Any of these can be done with G2 Dynamic adjusting only two parame- ters: speed of fabric circula- tion and ozone concentra- tion. It’s revolutionary in its simplicity, as all denim and RTD fabric will go through at least one of those process- es. It’s the key to create the most sustainable fabric.

DEVELOPING NEW SUSTAINABLE PROCESSES WITH G2 DYNAMIC

G2 Dynamic can be used in different stages of fabric finishing. In any of them, its deployment leads to a simpli- fied process with significant resource savings.
On denim fabric production, G2 Dynamic replaces the desizing and washing stages. This new process is more efficient; eliminating backstaining at the same time it desizes, managing to give the fabric a brighter, cleaner look when compared with the conventional process and getting up to 80% water saving and completely eliminate chemical from this process.

Furthermore, G2 Dynamic have shown that the latter offers a better response during the garment finishing process. G2 Dynamic acts as a natural laser booster and shortens garment finishing processes both in time and steps, leading to further reductions in water and chemi- cal consumption as the steps where their use is involved are either shorter or no longer needed.

With G2 Dynamic, a more sustainable fabric leads to a more sustainable garment, redefining fabric finishing to bring us closer to our goal for the future: a clean textile industry.

What kind of activities is Jeanologia carry- ing out in the context of sustainability, can you give us some hints about the future?

Jeanologia is working in a global solution from fabric to garment finishing, offering the combination of its hardware and software to complete change the current production model.

Thanks that we will be able to achieve our sustainable goal by 2025 the total detoxification and dehydration of the jeans industry.
